See the The Paddle Station experience in ACTION!

Ready To Explore Your River?
We Make It Easy. No longer do you have to rent, transport, and launch your vessel YOURSELF to enjoy Calgary’s Bow or Edmonton's North Saskatchewan river.
Simply book your ride online and arrive on location. WE DO THE REST!

Let the Paddle Station take care of everything – we provide all the equipment ready for you at the side of the river, including required safety gear (pfd/life jacket, paddles and safety kit) - all included with your booking AND we take it all from you at the end of your float.

That's right, besides the raft, we don't charge you for anything else like others do.

Your 2-3 hr self-guided, or guided trip, floats 12km through the heart of downtown.

In Calgary start at Shouldice Park and end at St Patrick's Island and in Edmonton, start at the Emily Murphy Park canoe launch and float to the Capilano Boat Launch!

All you have to do is book your vessel, show up, and leave the rest to us.
